 (17 Customer Reviews)
Black Sabbath had put itself back on track both musically and commercially with the 1980 album HEAVEN AND HELL, as the addition of new vocalist Ronnie James Dio was the shot in the arm Sabbath needed. A follow-up was released one year later, ... Full DescriptionMOB RULES, which follows in the same mega-decibel approach as its predecessor. While it is still a vast improvement over Sabbath's final two albums with Ozzy Osbourne (1976's TECHNICAL ECSTASY and 1978's NEVER SAY DIE), it doesn't exactly match the inspired performances and top compositions featured on HEAVEN AND HELL.
The opening track, "Turn Up the Night," kicks off the album with a jolt of electricity, while other hard rocking highlights include the mid-paced "Voodoo" and the raging title track--the latter would be featured on the soundtrack to the cult animated movie, HEAVY METAL. Another standout was the near eight-minute epic "The Sign of the Southern Cross," which starts as a gentle acoustic composition, before transforming into a classic slice of plodding Sabbath metal. Although Dio had been a major factor in returning Sabbath back from the dead, he would leave the group under less than amicable circumstances after the release of the 1982 live album LIVE EVIL.

Mob Rules Music Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Dio rocks with Tony
I'm not a big fan of replacing integral parts of a band but in this case it was a big improvement. Dio and Tony playing together is inspiring with some great songs that make Ozzy's period seem second class. This is the second best of the three albums that Dio recorded with Black Sabbath. The best being Heaven and Hell.

Vinnie Appice drums on this one.Once again,great tunes,smokin' performance of the band.A good follow up to heaven and hell,though i still like heaven and hell more.But hey,this one still rocks.The drums sound more 'acoustic' and live,becoming the trademark sound in Dio's solo albums(holy diver etc.)Get the Live Evil CD,together with this and heaven and hell,and you'll have the best of sabbath after Ozzy's term.

Once again AWESOME! Dio is flawless, Iommi, Butler, Appice, tear it up! The era of Sabbath with RJD behind the mic are definitely some of the best! I suggest if you don't own this album. Get it now!

Best than Heaven and Hell!!!!
This album is excellent! Now, the lyrics are written by more Sabbath´s members and they are really good. Dio has a great voice (I think it´s better singer than Ozzy), Iommi, Appice and Buttler make a good work here. The album has the strenght of Heaven and Hell and better lyrics also. I think Mob Rules and Dehumanizar are the best works with Ronnie James Dio and, perhaps, the best Sabbath´s albums withouth their original singer. The best songs : Turn up the light, Vodoo, The sing of the soutern cross,the dark and creepy E5150,Mob Rules and Falling off the edge of the world. The song "Mob rules" appears in the movie "Heavy Metal" as part of its soundtrack. If you are a Black Sabbath fan and you adore Dio´s work, this is an album you must have!!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No One of The 8 Great Sabbath Studio albums!!!
This album along with the first 6 albums and Heaven and Hell are all tied for the best sabbath album. They all are equally great in there own way. This album has 9 classic tracks, even E5150 is a classic. Iommi is one of the great Guitarists, and Dio can flat out sing. Its hard to pick the best song, its between The Sign of The Southern Cross, County Girl, and Turn Up the Night.

Mob Rules album
 $15.18  
MONUMENTS & MELODIES is an elliptical allusion to the hits and highlights contained within this 2009 retrospective, a double-disc set that's separated into a CD of singles and a CD of rarities. The first disc does its job efficiently, running through all but two of Incubus' Billboard hits--the minor mainstream rock radio hits "Circles" and "Make a Move" are missing, but the non-charting single "Are You In?" is in its place--bookended by two strong new Brendan O'Brien productions, "Black Heart Inertia" and "Midnight Swim." The second disc is devoted primarily to B-sides and other stray non-LP tracks, including an acoustic version of "A Certain Shade of Green," a remix of "Pantomime," and a ham-fisted cover of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy," where they get the riff slightly wrong. For the devoted, this disc does provide ...

| | Iron Maiden Flight 666: The Original Soundtrack Vinyl LP (2009) Picture Disc
Mob Rules music CDs
 $19.69 
The idea behind FLIGHT 666 was seemingly birthed from a WAYNE'S WORLD fantasy sequence: the mighty Iron Maiden would embark upon a world tour of exotic locales, transported to each venue in a custom 757 jet piloted by the band's lead singer, with scores of crew, journalists, and family members in tow. Surprisingly, the band not only pulled off the mind-boggling undertaking but delivered an extraordinary live album in the process. The FLIGHT 666 soundtrack compares favorably with the band's classic in-concert disc, LIVE AFTER DEATH, and, ...

| | Sirenia 13th Floor CD (2009) Bonus Tracks; Enhanced CD
Mob Rules album
$13.35 
With THE 13th FLOOR, Norway's Sirenia unveil their fourth full-length studio album of elegant symphonic metal. Injecting a touch of youthful vigor into the band's sound is the addition of lead female vocalist Ailyn, who gained fame as a contestant on Spain's X FACTOR--a Simon Cowell-organized, European variation of AMERICAN IDOL. Sirena's appeal also lies in their graceful, complex, neo-gothic musical arrangements, which imply a blend of Therion and Within Temptation. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by metal stalwart Tue Madsen (Moonspell, The Haunted, Dark Tranquillity), THE 13TH FLOOR also features a full choir, French violinist Stephanie Valentin, and guest vocalist Jan Kenneth Barkved (who had previously contributed vocals on Sirenia's 2002 debut AT SIXES AND SEVENS).
2009 release from the Norwegian Metal band led by former Tristania vocalist/guitarist Morten Veland. In 2006 ...

As the sole major-label progressive-metal act, Dream Theater invariably set the standard as the flagship band of the genre. With the numerically themed OCTAVARIUM (including eight tracks signifying the band's eighth release) the shred-rock quintet continues to challenge themselves creatively. Opening track "The Root Of All Evil" picks up the thread that began with "The Glass Prison" (SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE) and carried forward to "This ...
